"The Leader Ray", a gift from Gadhafi to former President Aznar.
Gaddafi received by the King and President the Government to December 18, 2007. The same is now convicted and condemned by all international agencies.
Among the gift that Qaddafi had to Aznar, on his visit to Libya in September 2003 and received the visit of Libyan leader Zapatero, in June 2007, four years only mediate in which Spain changed its government but not foreign policy. The dictator was able to be fooled with their gestures to two presidents reportedly opposed English policies but increasingly from identical reactions. Aznar was the first Western leader to visit the Supreme Guide of the Great Jamahiriya Arab, in Tripoli after the lifting of UN sanctions. And as a token of appreciation, Gaddafi offered a thoroughbred horse. Zapatero, the socialist president who managed to establish important business relationships with Qaddafi. Both are proud of it.
But the good relations between Libya and Spain were improved with the rise of the Socialists. "Libya is a very important country to the Mediterranean and the Maghreb", stated on September 1, 2009 Miguel Angel Moratinos, who was then foreign minister. That day, Muammar Gaddafi celebrates 40 years in power with a party that cost $ 40 million which also attended by the Italian President Silvio Berlusconi, Serbia, Boris Tadic, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Abbas. Moratinos praised the work "constructively" the regime in the area. It said that Aznar had in 2003, by presenting him with Gaddafi the thoroughbred. "All steps taken by Libya are positive, Aznar assured. Libya is doing the opposite approach to Cuba, and it should know. " And the trade ties between the two countries stopped growing.
In February 2007, Repsol YPF announced the discovery in Libya's largest oil well in its history, which would allow him to double its production to 450,000 bpd. And Libya has supplied then to Spain on 13% of oil. In December of that same year, Qaddafi made his first official visit to Spain. The Libyan leader arrived first in Seville and Malaga with an entourage of 300 people, including virgin Amazon, and a trail of luxury Mercedes. First installed their tent and received Aznar, who asked a display of live horses. Then, he moved to Madrid and was received with full state honors. King Juan Carlos I returned the visit in January 2009. Eighteen months later, Zapatero visited Tripoli and was received by the Libyan autocrat, turning to see again on 29 November, during the EU-Africa summit.
"The Leader Ray" now lives in a wooden box adjacent to the Zar, Admiral, Elmer and Bengali, four glossy horses that make the shade. It's a small horse stretches his neck to poke its nose above the door. Gaddafi gave the horse to Aznar is more like a pony than a thoroughbred horse Arabic. And, although Libyan leader promised it would ride with care and pleasure, I do not think that Aznar did not even once. Meritorious chose to endorse and never heard from again. His colleagues do security work block, control masses and public policy, but "Ray", like its former owner, remains cloistered in his wooden cabin with involuntary and indelible stain on your skin, being owned by the Libyan dictator. So far, nobody has used even for any routine operation of the Body.
For his part, President Zapatero, entranced by "the man who restored dignity to his people" myth and its alleged "socialist" welcomed with open arms to Qaddafi for the first time in December 2007 and will entertained with a dinner. Your attention is drawn to confidence Libyan, who, a year later, bought weapons worth Spain of 3.83 million euros. The same bombs, smoke pots, mines, missiles, they say, you just used against their people, punishing him for daring to rise up in revolt against the dictator. His angry temperament, the same that led him to bomb his people with the promise of an eternal paradise, contrasts with the temperance of "The Leader Ray," given to Aznar. And the head of the English state no longer walks with the same flourishes, watching him askance and siding with big powers against Gaddafi no longer fool anyone. Are the gaffes of a power that is now back together, having given a thud. In any case, one thing is certain. And is that the results of the English are those who suffer.
